The color functionality differs with emulation.

In general VT100, VT220 and ANSI Console work with applications which control the color directly. The remaining personalities associate colors based on existing monochrome video attributes.

This section will deﬁ ne parameter selection based on personality selected.

Background Will determine the color of the background screen under some conditions (16 colors).

Cursor: Select the color of the cursor (16 colors).

Normal F.G. / These ﬁ elds allow you to select the character and background color (16 colors) for data Normal B.G.: entered on the display before your application deﬁ nes the color display remotely.

Intensity F.G. These ﬁ elds allow you to select the character and background color (16 colors) for data Intersity B.G.: entered on the display as Dim in ASCII emulation’s and Bold in VT\ANSI emulation’s before

your application deﬁ nes the color display remotely.

Color Mode: Is automatically selected based on your emulation selected.

Color Map: Applies in WY325 mode only and determines if the monochrome attribute Reverse or Blank

will be used to map monochrome attributes to color.

* When the WY 325 personality is selected holding the Ctrl key down and depressing either the 0, 1, ..., 9 or (.) period keys in the numeric pad change the assignment of color on the screen. Each selection is called a palette and is described in Color Palette Table

2.1.2 Setup the IP address from Ethernet port

In addition to VT100 interface, we also provide a Network Setup Software tool (IPCS Setup)

for the network settings to the IP serial console.

The operation procedures are as follows:

1. Run the software tool IpcsSeeker.exe

2. Click Search Devices to find out the IP serial console devices on the network. After few seconds, the MAC addresses of found devices will show on Device MAC address field.

3. Select the MAC address on Device MAC address, then click Query Device to get the device configuration on the right pane.

4. If you want to change the settings. Enter the Super user name & password. Change the settings on the right pane. Then click Update Device. The new settings will be save to the IP serial console unit, then the unit will be reboot automatically.

. Access IP serial console

Using the HTTP protocol and entering the conﬁ gured IP address of IP KVM switch into the web browser

to remote access the IP KVM switch.

With successful connection to IP KVM, the login page will show as below, then key in the default user

name & password When connecting to the IPCS unit, the IPCS system (web server, Telnet server or

SSH server) will prompt user to enter the user name and password in order to access to the system.

There are two levels of access privileges:

User Default Access

Name Password Privileges

root root Full access

(user define) (user define) Limit access to serial port

The administrator can add or remove a user easily

via the web pages of System administration.

2.1.3 Web Management Interface

The IP serial console (IPCS) supports both HTTP and HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) protocols. The user must authenticate themselves by logging into the system with a correct user name and password

To access the IP serial console Web management pages, enter the pre-set IP address or resolvable hostname into the web browser’s URL/Location field. This will direct the user to the login screen.

Figure below shows the user homepage of the Web management interface. A menu bar, provided on the left hand side of the screen. Selecting an item on the menu bar opens a tree view of all the submenus available under each grouping. Selecting a submenu item will allow the user to modify parameter settings for that item.

Every page will allow the user to Save to flash, Apply or Cancel their actions. To apply all changes made, the user must select Apply. Only when the user selects Apply will the new parameter values be applied to the IP serial console configuration and go effective. But new settings are not save to non-volatile memory (Flash) unless user click Save to flash button.

If the user does not want to save the new parameter values, the user can click Cancel. All changes made will be

lost and the previous values restored.

2.8 Device Setup Chapter 2

User can do the network IP settings via V-100 or web pages. This chapter describes the usage of web pages. The default IP settings are as follows.

3.1.1 IP Configuration

The IP serial console requires a valid IP address to operate within the user’s network environment. If the IP address is not readily available, contact the system administrator to obtain a valid IP address for the IP serial console. Please note that the IP serial console requires a unique IP address to connect to the user’s network.

There are two types of IP assignments user can choose from:

■ Static IP

■ DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

The IP serial console is initially defaulted to Static IP mode, with a static IP address of 192.168.123.211. *The onfiguration setting will not go into effect until clicking the button Save to flash & reboot.

3.1.2 SMTP Configuration

The IP serial console (IPCS) can send an email notification when the number of system log messages reaches to certain value and/or when an alarm message is created due to an issue with serial port data. The user must configure a valid SMTP server to send these automatically generated emails.

The “device mail address” must be registered to SMTP server.

The IPCS supports two SMTP server types:

■ SMTP without authentication

■ SMTP with authentication

The SMTP user name and SMTP user password are required when selecting SMTP with Authentication.

Secondary SMTP configuration is also provided so that mail can be delivered even when the primary SMTP

server fails. Only when the primary SMTP server fails, the secondary SMTP server will be tried for mail

delivery.

3.2.1 IP Filtering

The IP filtering function keeps unauthorized hosts from accessing to the IP serial console by specifying IP filtering rules. It is important to fully understand what an IP filter is. If you don’t fully understand this, you will get unexpected results against your original plan.

The IP address/Mask specifies the host range by entering base host IP address followed by / and subnet mask. The host IP addresses to be filtered based on the rule defined. The table below gives examples of IP address/ Mask settings.

Specified host range Base Host IP address Subnet mask

Any host 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

192.168.1.120 192.168.1.120 255.255.255.255

192.168.1.129 ~ 192.168.1.254 192.168.1.128 255.255.255.128

The Port is a port or port range of the IP serial console which hosts try to access to.

Chain rule

The chain rule determines whether the access from the hosts is allowed or not. It can be one of the these two values :

■ ACCEPT : access allowed

■ DROP : access not allowed

When the IPCS receives a TCP packet, it will process the packet with the chain rule depicted below. The process ordering is important; The packet will enter the chain rule 1 first, if meet the rule then take action directly,

otherwise go to chain rule 2.

Users can add a new IP filtering rule by setting the properties at adding line and then clicking the button Add. User can remove a rule by clicking the button Remove.

In the example above, no host is allowed to connect to the IPCS through http (port 80) by the #3 rule but the hosts whose subnet is 192.168.1.x is allowed by the #1 rule and 192.168.2.x by the rule #2. So, only the hosts which elong to the subnet 192.168.1.x or 192.168.2.x can access to the IPCS through http by the #1, #2 and #3 rules.

The IP serial consoloe Web server supports both HTTP and HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) services simulta-

neously. Users can select user authentication method for the IPCS web pages login. The IP serial console currently provides authentication methods of Local and RADIUS.

3.3.2 Dynamic DNS

When users connect the IP serial console (IPCS) to a DSL line or use a DHCP configuration, and get a dynamic IP address from the network, the IP address may not the same as previous. It can therefore be very difficult to know if an IP address has changed, or what the new IP address is.

A Dynamic DNS service is provided by various ISPs or organizations to deal with the above issue. By using the Dynamic DNS service, users can access the IPCS through the hostname registered in the Dynamic DNS Server regardless of any IP address change.

By default, the IPCS only supports Dynamic DNS service offered at Dynamic DNS Network Services, LLC

(www.dyndns.org).

To use the Dynamic DNS service provided by Dynamic DNS Network Services, the user must set up an account. in their Members’ NIC (Network Information Center - http://members.dyndns.org). The user may then add a new Dynamic DNS Host link after logging in to their Dynamic DNS Network Services Members NIC.

After enabling the Dynamic DNS service in the Dynamic DNS Configuration menu, the user must enter the registered Domain Name, User Name, and Password. After applying the configuration change, users can accessthe IPCS using only the Domain Name. The DNS (Domain Name Systems) is the internet service that translates your domain names into IP addresses.

3.3.3 HTTPS / SSL

The IP serial console Web server supports both HTTP and HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) services simultaneously. The user can to enable or disable security function of each port individually. HTTPS provides a secure, encrypted web interface over SSL (secure sockets layer). The following steps to use the HTTPS protocol:

1. Change the URL from “http://xxx.xxx.xxx/” to “https://xxx.xxx.xxx/”.

2. If connect success, it will show up the “Lock” icon on the right-hand side of the taskbar.

3.3.4 RADIUS

Authentication is the process of identifying an individual, usually based on a username and password. The IP serial console supports various authentication options, such as Local, RADIUS, to authenticate the users who access the serial port. When the authentication is set to Local, the IPCS will use its own user list to authenticate a user. If configured otherwise, the IPCS will request authentication from the external authentication servers (i.e. RADIUS).

Figure below shows conceptually the user authentication process when using an external authentication server.

Authentication is the process of identifying an individual, usually based on a username and password. The IP

serial console supports various authentication options, such as Local, RADIUS, to authenticate the users who

access the serial port.

When the authentication is set to Local, the IP serial console will use its own user list to authenticate a user. If

configured otherwise, the IPCS will request authentication from the external authentication servers (i.e. RADIUS)

Figure below shows conceptually the user authentication process when using an external authentication server.

4.1.2 Port Enable / Disable

4.1.4 Operation Modes

The IP serial console unit provides four types of operation modes. These are described in the

following sections.

P.36

4.1 Serial Port Conﬁ guration Chapter 4

Note :

■ The Power Control Mode is available in port #1 only.

■ The last port (e.g., Port #16 of IPCS-16) can also be used as External ESP (Entry Serial Port) in

Serial-to-Serial operation mode. Refer to the section Serial-to-Serial Function for details.

Console Server Mode Configuring a serial port as a console server creates a TCP socket on the IP serial console unit that listens for a

Telnet or SSH client connection. When you connect to the TCP socket, you have access to the device attached to

the serial port as if the device were connected directly to the network. Data streamcan be sent back and forth

between the device and the Telnet/SSH client program.RawTCP is also supported with the Console Server Mode.

For console server mode, the user can configure the following parameters:

Listening TCP port number

The user can also access a serial port through the IP address of the IP serial console and the listening TCP port

number of the serial port. If the IP address of the IP serial console and the serial port are assigned as

192.168.123.100 and listening TCP port number 4001, the user can connect to the port as follows:

telnet 192.168.123.100 4001

Protocol

Select Telnet, SSH or Raw TCP as the protocol. If the users are using a Telnet client program, select Telnet. If the

users are using an SSH client program, select SSH. When Raw TCP is selected, direct TCP socket

communication is available between the IPCS and the remote host.

Inactivity timeout

In order to avoid a client holding a TCP connection while no data transferring on the serial port for long time. If the

inactivity timeout is enabled, and no data activity between the IP serial console and the Telnet/ SSH client for the

specified inactivity timeout interval (no data activity in the serial port), the existing TCP session will automatically

be closed. If the user wants to maintain the connection indefinitely, configure the inactivity timeout period to 0.

TCP Keep-alive (no configuration required)

In order to avoid TCP connection lockup, the IP serial console will continue to check the connection status

between the Telnet/ SSH client and the IP serial console by sending “keep alive” packets periodically. If the Telnet/

SSH client does not answer the packets in a period of time, system will assume that the connection is down

unintentionally. The IPCS will close the existing Telnet/SSH connection, regardless of the inactivity setting. So the

TCP connection won’t be deadlocked when user’s application closed improperly or the network link interrupted.

Terminal Server Mode In terminal server mode, the IP serial console will unit’s serial port is configured to wait for data from the device

connected to the port. If data arrive is detected, the IPCS unit starts a TCP session as a Telnet or SSH client to a

pre-defined server. The server must be defined by you before the port can be configured for a Telnet or SSH client.

This mode is used when you want to access servers on the network from a serial terminal. RawTCP is also

supported with the Terminal Server Mode.

Dial-in Modem Mode

In this mode, the IP serial console unit assumes an external modem is attached to the serial port and is waiting for

a dial-in connection from a remote site. When a user dials-in using a terminal application, the IP serial console unit

accepts the connection and displays the appropriate prompt or menu for you that logged in.

4.1.5 Serial Port Parameters

To connect the serial device to the IPCS serial port, the serial port parameters of the IPCS should match

exactly to that of the serial device attached.

4.1.6 Port Logging

With the Port logging feature while in console server mode, the data receiving from the tracking serial port will be buffered in IPCS memory. The user can also define keywords for each serial port that will trigger an email notification if the keyword is found in the logged data. This will enable the user to monitor the data from the attached device. The Port logging feature is valid and visible only if the operation mode of the serial port is

configured to console server mode.

4.1 Serial Port Conﬁ guration Chapter 4

P.38

4.1.6 Port Logging

If Port logging option is enabled, the user can let the IP serial console to search a defined keyword from the port logging data and send an email to an administrator by Port event handling configurations. Each reaction

can be configured individually upon each keyword. Reaction can be an email delivery.

The memory buffer for port logging data are pre-allocated at the size as follows:

Port Number of IP serial console Memory Size (Bytes / Port) Total Memory Size

16 192K 3M

48 64K 3M

Remark :

■ If the logging data grows larger than the pre-allocated size, the new data will overwrite the old data.

The IP serial console web pages provide a web-based serial port connection which enables the user to access the serial ports without using the Telnet client program.

A Java applet is used to provide the text-based user interface to access the serial port. This Java applet supports only Telnet in Console Server mode. The user cannot access the serial port via the web when the host mode of the port is set to Raw TCP connection. The user is asked to enter user ID and password to access the port. Once authenticated, the user now has access to the serial port.

The IPCS maintains current date and time information. The IPCS clock and calendar settings are backed up by internal

battery power. The user can change the current date and time.

There are two methods of date and time settings. The first is to use the NTP server to maintain the date and time settings.

If the NTP feature is enabled, the IPCS will obtain the date and time information from the NTP server at each reboot, then

automatically align with the NTP server time per hour. If the NTP server is set to 0.0.0.0, the IPCS will automatically use the

default NTP servers. In this case, the IPCS should be connected from the network to the Internet. The second method is

to set date and time manually without using the NTP server. This will allow the date and time information to be kept

maintained by the internal battery backup.

By convention, weather scientists use one time zone, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This time is also known as

Universal Time (UTC). The user may also need to set the time zone and the time offset from UTC depending on

the user location to set system date and time exactly, and the time offset from UTC. It allows the IPCS to calculate

the exact system time. The Time offset value x could be positive or negative integer. Please refer to the website

http://time_zone.tripod.com/ for the time offset from UTC.

6.2 Date and Time Chapter 6

P.45

Note :

■ The IP serial console provides RTC (Real Time Clock) function powered by a lithium battery (CR2032,

3V). So the data/time will be maintained even encounter power loss to the unit.

■ If you repeatedly loss the date / time information please replace the battery.

■ Replace the 3-Volt CR2032 battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery

manufacturer. A new battery can explode if it is incorrectly installed. Discard the inappropriate one if

possible.

Firmware can be easily upgraded via web page. This section describes the upgrade procedures.

*Pls contact you The latest firmware version is available on the web site.

6.3.1 Prepare Upgrade Environment

1. Need to obtain a TFTP server software program.

2. Startup tftp server (e.g., tftpd32). The website below kindly provides the software.

http://perso.orange.fr/philippe.jounin/tftpd32_download.html.

3. Run the TFTP server software program, for example: tftpd32.exe

4. Select the directory folder where the upgrade image files reside at

For example: Z:\IP-console\Release\v1.0 & 082306

6.3.2 Upgrade from web page

Key in TFTP server IP address and image file name, then click Apply.

After a few seconds, the message Flash program finished successfully will be shown, meaning the new

firmware has been upgraded into the Flash memory.

6.3 Fireware Upgrade Chapter 6

P.46

Warning :

During this upgrading process, we should not disconnect the power or the Ethernet cable, since it

may cause upgrade failure and destroy the image in Flash memory. In this case, we have to upgrade

through bootloader process, which is not as friendly as the web method.

Note :

There are three possible images can be upgraded. But not all of the three images should be upgraded

in each release. Most often, only need to upgrade the ramdisk image. The three images are:

■ extpar

■ zimage

■ ramdisk

6.3.2 Upgrade from web page

If you want to run the new firmware, you need to click the Reboot item, then Yes to confirm to reboot the system. It

will take about one minute to finish the system reboot. When the IPCS unit finishes the startup and working normally,

the Ready green LED will blink every second.

P.47

6.3 Fireware Upgrade Chapter 6

Warning :

A new firmware release version may need one, two, or up to three images to upgrade. You have to up-

grade all to be upgraded images before rebooting the system. Otherwise may cause inconsistency be-
